Comic Christmas Cover: Blue Bolt Comics

For the next few days, we'll be showing Christmas-themed Golden Age comic covers.
Today it's Blue Bolt Comics #31 (V3#7) from 1942, featuring Edison Bell: Boy Inventor delivering presents from a motorized "Santa Sled"!

'Tis Better to Give than to Receive (especially bullets!)

In the season of giving, the crew at Atomic Kommie Comics™ ask "why not give the guys who gave as good as they got?"

That's our roundabout (but alliterative) way of saying you should visit the Real Life Criminals section of our Crime & Punishment™ line for some criminal, but kitchy, collectibles for the Mob maven in your life!

We're talkin' Al Capone, "Lucky" Luciano, and especially John Dillinger on everything from black hoodies to mousepads!
With the new Dillinger biopic Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp out on DVD & Blu-ray, now's the time to grab a funky, but affordable, retro collectible and combine it with said DVD or Blu-ray to make the perfect gift set for the felony fan you love!

It's an offer you can't refuse. (Oh, wait, that's another gangster epic...)

Christmas at Ground Zero!!!

At this time of year, Christmas carols are in continuous rotation on the stereo in the Atomic Kommie Comics™ office.
One of our favorites is Christmas at Ground Zero by "Weird" Al Yankovic. (You were expecting maybe Adeste Fidelis?)

Which brings us to, perhaps, the most unusual theme for potential Christmas presents (and, you gotta admit, we've had some real weirdies!)...atomic Armageddon!

Within our sci-fi-oriented The Future WAS Fantastic!™ section is the Atomic War line of kool collectibles with classic comic book covers from the fear-filled '50s, featuring the nuclear destruction of New York City (see above), Washington DC, and Moscow on black hoodies, sweats, and tees, as well as mugs and other tchochkies!

So for all you survivalists out there, while you duck n' cover under the Christmas tree, prepare for the irradiated end stylishly with our radiation-proof (well...not really!) garb and goodies!

Next Issue Project: Silver Streak Comics #24 GiftSet!

Continuing the Next Issue Project series which presents the "next issue" of comic books that last saw print over 60 years ago, Erik Larsen has just released Silver Streak Comics #24 featuring Dare Devil, Silver Streak, The Claw and Captain Battle.
(BTW, Silver Streak Comics #23 came out in 1946!)
It's a nicely-done little book with all-new art by Larson (Savage Dragon) himself, Michael T. Gilbert (Mr. Monster), Paul Griest (Kane) and Alan Weiss (Warlock).

If you have a Golden Age of Comics fan on your Christmas shopping list, why not pick up this brand-new $3.99 book and combine it with one or two of our many kool kollectibles under $14.99 each featuring the 1940s covers for these same characters, to make an inexpensive, yet obviously thoughtful, Golden Age of Comics GiftSet for him / her?

Choose from...

DareDevil

Silver Streak

Captain Battle

or, if he / she is into villains...
The Claw!

Each cover image is shot directly from an original 1940s comic book (no second-gen reprints or low-rez files HERE), then digitally-restored and remastered by artists who've worked on classic comic reprint projects for Marvel and DC (among others)!

Make it a "comic book Christmas" for your loved one this year!
Give them a graphic gift they'll enjoy for years to come!
